A TOP Irish folk band will be visiting Nettlebed next week, for the latest gig hosted by the village’s folk club.

Dervish has received a prestigious lifetime achievement award from the BBC, a fitting tribute to the band with more than 30 years of recording and performing all over the world.

Described by the BBC as “an icon of Irish music”, the band have played at festivals from Rio de Janeiro to Glastonbury.

They accompanied the Irish president on state visits to Latvia and Lithuania and the prime minister of Ireland on a trade mission to China as Cultural Ambassadors, taking time out to play an impromptu session on the Great Wall of China.

Dervish have a line–up which include some of Ireland’s finest traditional musicians, fronted by one of the country’s best-known singers, Cathy Jordan.

Renowned for live performances, with dazzling sets of tunes with stunning interpretations of traditional songs, they will be welcome visitors to the Thames Valley on Monday, November 28.
